Hyperion
Inside the bridge, where the debris had been simply cleared away, Theresa sat with her hands crossed in front of her. This was the only thing in the entire bridge that could still be considered intact.
Although it was just a bare chair, from a certain perspective, it looked exceptionally pitiful.
Theresa frowned slightly as she looked at the communication screen in front of her and at Tesla, who had just run over panting.
Hiko leaned against the wall, her long red hair swaying with the slight bumps of the battleship. She held a cup of coffee in her hand—although it was instant, it was better than nothing.
Dr. Einstein still wore a calm, emotionless expression as she pushed up her glasses. Dr. Tesla, however, had a trace of irritation mixed with her frustration.
As for the reason, it was naturally Einstein, who was currently explaining things through the communication screen.
Tesla had been wondering why this guy hadn't followed her, assuming Einstein was just too used to sitting in an office and couldn't run as fast. It turned out this guy never even intended to co and just called directly!
After Einstein finished speaking, she looked at Tesla. Seeing the indignation on Tesla's face, Einstein shrugged. "I can only say that Dr. Tesla's brain didn't turn the corner fast enough. You can't bla ."
"Then why didn't you call ?!"
"Dr. Tesla ran too fast. I didn't have the ti." Einstein casually took a sip of her coffee, looking completely normal, before turning to Theresa. "Anyway, that's what happened."
"So, that girl Irene took one look at the surveillance, said she was going to the Eye of the Deep, and ran off like a gust of wind, vanishing without a trace," Theresa summarized, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness and a subtle sense of being long accustod to this.
How should she put it? It was indeed very familiar. It seed like every ti, this girl would run off right after speaking, and after running off, they might not even be able to find where she went.
"Pretty much." Tesla took over the conversation, imitating Irene's deanor at the ti and pointing at her own temple. "Irene seed to know what happened, and then she said sothing like, 'I'm very familiar with him, he understands , and the people in my head are even more familiar with him.'"
"See, just like that, all mysterious. She slipped away right after saying that. But speaking of which, although Irene seed a bit rushed, it didn't feel like she was too worried that sothing might happen to Welt.
"It felt more like she was rushing to confirm sothing, or to receive soone."
"And explaining nothing once again." After pinching the bridge of her nose, Theresa looked up at the space in front of her and asked, "Rin, do you know what happened?"
"I know~" Rin answered Theresa's question without hesitation through the speaker. "But Sister Irene is going this ti both to pick soone up and to stop him from coming back."
"Ah, what do you an?" Theresa looked at the speaker where Rin's voice was coming from in confusion. "Is she picking Welt up? Or?"
"You'll know when we get there anyway~" Rin dragged out her tone. "Hmm, but I feel like Sister Irene probably won't be able to stop Uncle Kevin from coming back this ti.
"He must have waited a very long ti."
Kevin no longer had any reason to stay in the Sea of Quanta. His current physical condition was extrely healthy, and he had probably accumulated quite a lot of Honkai energy reserves within the Sea of Quanta.
Aside from not having his weapon on hand, there was almost no difference from his peak state. And she had also seen that video clip just now.
That blue hair couldn't be anyone else; it could only be Sister Griseo. Since they had found her, it was naturally ti to return. Therefore, Sister Irene probably wouldn't be able to talk him out of it this ti.
"Just how many things has Irene done without us knowing?" Hiko shook her head, pulling out her personal terminal and operating it while speaking.
"Fine, since you don't want to say, Rin, we can always find soone else to ask."
Rin didn't stop Hiko's actions. Everyone would know eventually anyway. She just wanted to maintain a little sense of mystery, which was why she didn't say it. If Hiko could find soone to ask, that was Hiko's ability.
Moreover, Rin roughly had an idea of who Hiko was going to ask.
"Hiko, who are you planning to call?" Theresa looked at Hiko. "Calling Irene? I already tried. That girl isn't answering, or maybe she has no signal."
"Of course not." Hiko shook her head and made the call. "You haven't forgotten, have you? Among us, there really is soone whom Irene brought out from the Sea of Quanta."
Just as Hiko's words fell, the terminal was connected, and Seele's voice ca through. Clearly, White Seele had regained control of the body: "What is it? Teacher Hiko, do you need sothing from Seele?"
"Co to the bridge for a mont, Seele. We have sothing to ask you."
"Okay, Seele will be right there."
Eye of the Deep
Griseo sat on the cold, slightly damp ground, her arms hugging her knees. Her long light-blue hair was sowhat ssily draped over her, and her gaze was fixed intensely on the Eye of the Deep in front of her.
At the entrance to the Eye of the Deep, the vortex that seed to connect to another dinsion was violently churning at this mont, periodically bursting out with massive amounts of Honkai energy.
Griseo didn't plan on leaving. She didn't understand the outside world anyway, so she might as well wait for Uncle Kevin to return. She didn't know where this place was, so where else could she go?
So, she would just wait here. Anyway, Uncle Kevin should be able to end the battle very quickly. It was just a Herrscher, and rely the Herrscher of Reason at that.
Although she didn't know where Uncle Kevin's weapon went, even without a weapon, Uncle Kevin could still fight just as well.
It was just that Griseo still didn't know why they started fighting. They were clearly quite friendly at the beginning, even though she was a bit confused about the situation at first.
But Griseo actually knew a little bit. After thinking for a while, she also figured out why Uncle Kevin was so friendly to him.
Because he was a friendly Herrscher. But Griseo still didn't know why the two of them had to fight, and it was even that Herrscher uncle who struck first.
Just as Griseo was still contemplating whether she should go back and persuade the two of them to stop fighting, she heard a sound coming from behind her.
Griseo imdiately raised her head in alert, only to see a streak of cyan light crossing through Haiyuan City at extrely high speed, heading straight toward her.
And that aura wasn't unfamiliar to Griseo. A Herrscher. Another Herrscher. What exactly was the situation with this civilization? Having a Herrscher of Reason was one thing—after all, Herrschers were bound to be born—but why did another Herrscher suddenly pop up?
Could it be that the Honkai wasn't playing by the rules this ti and just sent all the Herrschers at once? No, that's impossible.
The stream of light landed in front of Griseo. The light dissipated, revealing Wendy's appearance.
Griseo imdiately flipped over and stood up, subconsciously assuming a defensive posture. The thick fountain pen in her hand instantly emitted a dazzling light as she took a sword stance.
She didn't even need to sense the lingering whirlwind around the other party; it already revealed her identity as the Herrscher of Wind. Was she attracted by the constantly erupting Honkai energy behind her?
Irene looked at the blue-haired girl who had instantly entered a state of high alert. A hint of amusent and helplessness flashed in her eyes. It really was Griseo, and it was the grown-up Griseo at that.
"State your identity." Griseo looked at Irene and demanded. The reason she didn't attack imdiately was also because she felt obvious goodwill from the Herrscher in front of her.
Irene didn't speak imdiately but smiled faintly. Under Griseo's vigilant gaze, Irene took out Pardo's card from her pocket and pressed it against her body.
Amidst the glow, Wendy's figure and face rippled like water and began to change.
Her body slowly descended to the ground. Her originally hair turned into smooth light chestnut, and two fluffy cat ears 'grew' from the top of her head.
Her pupils shifted into a pair of nimble, heterochromic eyes carrying a hint of slyness and curiosity. Her clothing also transford into a crop top and hot pants suited for easy movent, with a large tail swishing nimbly behind her.
Pardo blinked, her face displaying that familiar, lively smile from Griseo's mories, and her voice beca brisk.
"Yo! Little Griseo! Long ti no see! Oh my, I finally found you. Everyone missed you to death!"
Griseo was completely stunned. Her defensive posture unconsciously relaxed, and her large blue eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and a gradually welling surge of pleasant surprise.
"Sister... Pardo?" Her voice trembled slightly, laced with uncertainty. "Is-is it really you? Weren't you..."
"Hehe, it's , it's really !" Pardo, who was controlling Irene's body, nodded vigorously. "Though, the situation right now is a little bit complicated.
"As for this body, just assu I'm temporarily squatting in it for now. I'll explain the details next ti. The important thing is that it's so great you're okay, Little Griseo! Boss Kevin is really sothing, just tossing you out like that. Wasn't he worried you'd get hurt?"
Looking at the chattering Pardo in front of her, Griseo's eyes were full of astonishnt. Because she knew one thing very clearly: Sister Pardo had also sacrificed herself. So what was the deal with the Sister Pardo in front of her?
But she could also distinctly feel the colors that belonged to Sister Pardo. That couldn't be faked.
"Sister Pardo, how did you survive?" Griseo looked at Pardo with curiosity. Everyone knew about Pardo's death. Nothing could have survived in that kind of environnt.
Could it be that Sister Pardo's weird and wonderful luck had taken effect?
"Hmm, accurately speaking, I didn't exactly survive either." Pardo scratched her head. "Anyway, it's a bit complicated. But Griseo, it's just good that you're okay."
Pardo patted her body as she spoke, only to realize that she didn't have the photo album she needed to contact the Realm. She asked in her mind.
[Sister Irene, where's the photo album? How co I can't feel it on ?]
[It's with .] Irene shook her head ntally. Because she had full administrative rights, after transforming, she could pull items from her own inventory.
Otherwise, with those Transformation Cards, leaving aside everything else, Pardo's outfit simply didn't have any pockets to hold things. Anything slightly larger would have to be hidden on Pardo's person by Pardo herself.
Not to ntion that large photo album. Therefore, those things were generally kept on Irene's person. Since Irene could pull items from herself using her authority, it wasn't a problem.
But when others were controlling the body, they didn't have this authority.
[Oh, then Sister Irene, you do it.] Pardo decisively handed the control back to Irene.
After Irene took back control of the body, she smiled at Griseo in front of her. Then, she turned and pulled that thick photo album from behind her back.
Griseo watched as Pardo right before her suddenly shifted into another color, revealing a puzzled expression. This color was exactly the sa as when Irene had just arrived.
"May I ask who you are?"
"I am Irene." Irene opened the photo album in her hands and sent a ssage to everyone in the Realm. "Hmm, I was also the one who told Mr. Kevin roughly where you were and asked him to go find you."
While speaking, Irene also revealed her Bodhi imprint.
"..." Griseo looked at Irene, then at the album painted with many colors, and finally at the glowing Bodhi imprint in Irene's hand, instantly believing her words a bit more.
Those colors couldn't be faked. The colors of everyone in that photo album, though missing a few, were genuine, and the Bodhi imprint on Irene's hand couldn't be faked either.
But... why was she another Herrscher?
Griseo's expression beca a bit strange. It wasn't that she couldn't understand what it ant. But were there really two of them already?
And why was Sister Pardo inside this Herrscher's body?
Just as Griseo was still puzzling over this, a voice ca from the photo album. "What's wrong? Has Miss Irene encountered a problem that's difficult to handle?"
"Ah, Miss Eden, I didn't expect you to be the first to pick up the phone." Irene looked at the album and smiled. "I've picked up the person on my end, so I thought I should let you all know."
"Picked up the person?" Eden's voice was startled for a mont, but then she seed to realize sothing. Before she could say anything else, Kalpas's voice violently barged in.
"Did you find Griseo?!" Kalpas's voice was rough yet filled with concern. "Where is Kevin?! Where did he die off to?!"
"Mhm, Kevin is still in the Sea of Quanta right now. He already sent Griseo over." Irene handed the photo album to Griseo, who was watching eagerly.
"Thank you." Griseo took the photo album. Although she had already guessed that everyone from the Realm was inside, but...
Griseo took a deep breath and spoke softly to the album, "Umm... Uncle Kalpas?"
After a mont of silence from the album, Kalpas's voice ca through. Although Griseo's voice seed to have changed a bit, it was undoubtedly Griseo on the other end.
Kalpas's tone beca uncharacteristically gentle. "Hmph, as long as you're back. Granted, that guy is at least sowhat useful."
"Co back and get a checkup when you have the ti, since you've stayed in the Sea of Quanta for so long." Mobius's voice also cut in. "Irene, bring Griseo over when you have the ti."
After their voices fell, the voices of others also followed, all expressing their joy that Griseo was able to return safely. However, as Irene listened, she suddenly noticed a problem.
Why did it seem like everyone only cared about Griseo and paid absolutely no attention to what she just said about Kevin still being in the Sea of Quanta?
